    Publishing Options

    I am at the stage where I can start considering which option I want to go with for publishing Shadow Fox and the books that will be in the World of Tierra series to come. Traditional publishing is by far the hardest of the three option. It’s a lot of work for very much little…

    2nd Draft Done!

    Now, I am ready to move onto getting trusted friends to read through it. I need new eyes to read it and help me locate plot holes, improve character development, and catch the likely obvious spelling and grammar errors that I am sure are there. I am just going to let the other readers cook…

  • Summer time madness

    Summer time madness

    It’s officially summer in the Shuswap and I have continued to be busy with traveling and recovering from traveling. I went to Alberta for a Summer Druid Camp with the Chinook Grove of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids. I had an amazing time and even shared a bit of the novel around the…

  • The Road So Far

    The Road So Far

    I don’t care if they write fanfiction for a niche audience or novels ready for publishing – if you write with the purpose of someone else reading it then you are a writer to me.

  • Pause

    Pause

    I am on a pause from working on Shadow Fox (the title of Project Fox Hunt). I tried to start editing right away and found that I was overwhelmed by going right into it. I am taking a full month off from it in order to get space from it. This way I can go…

    The Rough Draft is done!

    Clocking in at 98,400+ words so far, the rough draft of Project Fox Hunt is done. I started this project in November and so much has changed in it that it doesn’t even resemble the original concept for the story anymore. So now the hard part comes into play. I have a lot of work…

    86 K words completed

    Not even halfway through the week and I have already written 6000 words. I definitely feel like I am on a role with my writing right now. Every thousand words brings me one step closer to my goal of 120K words. Every book I wrote before this was only 50K and then my inspiration burned…

    75K Words Completed

    The novel is coming right along now. I hit 75K words today and the new start to the story is working much better. I have had to scrap only about 5K words so far and I have added so much more since. With only 45K left to go in my 120K word goal, I feel…

  • It’s a mad mad mad world out there

    I haven’t been writing the last couple of weeks. Between celebrating my 42nd birthday and getting caught up in world affairs (of which make me sick) I have found it hard to be creative. I started by settling up some of my world building lore and history. Things that I know feed into the project…

  • Project: Fox Hunt – update

    I hit a bit of a wall these last couple of weeks because I accidentally wrote the ending of my novel and I do not have enough written before to call it a book yet. I just spent the last few hours reorganizing the chapters and moving scenes around. I am have found that I…
